Gift from fonefan & charlotte. Slightly hazy golden amber. Fairly rich English hop on the nose - herbal with pear, apple notes. Moderate bitterness, only a hint of caramel but overall a good bit of hop bite. The character is earthy, with light pear notes. Good brew.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask gravity at Kent BF 2006. First beer of the Saturday session (3rd session for me). I had been waiting for this to come on for 2 days. Hazy amber colour with off white head. Yeasty, strong hop and grapefruit aroma. Bit earthy in mouth. Not a bad first attempt. Mouthfeel is just a little wrong.

Bottled
Hazy darkish orange/amber color, small steady white head. I don’t find nose as aromatic hoppy than many earlier raters, for me this is closer to typical Dutch ale’s aroma: it’s fruity (mango, apricot), touch of candy sugar with pinewoody hops thrown in. Maybe it is just Molen’s yeast in the nose, because flavor is dry, not all fruity and sweet. Piney planks, leather and aromatic hops in the flavor. Late bitterness. A bit papery in the aftertaste. Quite different Dutch beer. Is it excellent beer? I don’t know, let’s say that it is more interesting than really good.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from trade with jbrus. It poured a clear, golden body with an off-white head. Fruity, sour nose with some pale malt, and a good hoppyness. Hoppy, resiny and bitter, flavor with malt to give it balance. Medium body. Bitter finish, quite resiny. The beer starts off a bit boring, but the hoppyness makes it something interesting. It actually surprised me with it’s bitterness. (080509)
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Botella, shared with el hermano, gracias. Hazy nice golden colour with a big fairly well lasting white head leaving a good lacing. Very hoppy bitter fruity aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a pleasant bitter fruity hoppiness with malt and yeast. Hoppy dry plesant bitter finish. The flavour is not as bombastic as the aroma, that would have been nice though.
